Veritas NetBackup™ CloudPoint Install and Upgrade Guide

Removing CloudPoint from a standalone Docker host environment

The process for uninstalling CloudPoint is the same as that followed for installation. The only difference is that you specify "uninstall" in the command, which tells the installer to remove the components from the host.

During uninstallation, the installer performs the following tasks on the CloudPoint host:

  • Stops all the CloudPoint containers that are running

  • Removes the CloudPoint containers

  • Unloads and removes the CloudPoint images

To uninstall CloudPoint

  1. Ensure that you have uninstalled the CloudPoint agents from all the hosts that are part of the CloudPoint configuration.

    See Removing the CloudPoint agents.

  2. Verify that there are no protection policy snapshots or other operations in progress, and then uninstall CloudPoint by running the following command on the host:

    # sudo docker run -it --rm 
    -v /full_path_to_volume:/full_path_to_volume 
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:<version> uninstall

    Replace the following parameters as per your environment:

    Parameter

    Description

    <version>

    Represents the CloudPoint product version that is installed on the host.

    <full_path_to_volume>

    Represents the path to the CloudPoint data volume, which typically is /cloudpoint.

    For example, if the product version is 8.3.0.8549, the command syntax is as follows:

    # sudo docker run -it --rm -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:8.3.0.8549 uninstall

    If using a proxy server, then using the examples provided in the table earlier, the command syntax is as follows:

    # sudo docker run -it --rm -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -e VX_HTTP_PROXY="http://proxy.mycompany.com:8080/" -e VX_HTTPS_PROXY="https://proxy.mycompany.com:8080/" -e VX_NO_PROXY="localhost,mycompany.com,192.168.0.10:80" -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:8.3.0.8549 uninstall

    Note:

    This is a single command. Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.

    The installer begins to unload the relevant CloudPoint container packages from the host. Messages similar to the following indicate the progress status:

  3. Confirm that the CloudPoint containers are removed.

    Use the following docker command:

    # sudo docker ps -a

  4. If desired, remove the CloudPoint container images from the host.

    Use the following docker command to view the docker images that are loaded on the host:

    # sudo docker images -a

    Use the following docker command to remove the CloudPoint container images from the host:

    # sudo docker rmi <image ID>

  5. This completes the CloudPoint uninstallation on the host.

    Possible next step is to re-deploy CloudPoint.
